V674 ETY MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2000 Ford Transit (V674 ETY) between December 2021 and January 2024.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 20 January 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Bodywork (12 issues), Lighting (8 issues), Brakes (4 issues), Suspension (3 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 15 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Integral body structure or chassis has excessive corrosion to the extent that overall security or stabili”; “Offside Front Integral body structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced ”; “Offside Front Integral body structure or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm o”.

Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution. This vehicle h
The primary concern with this vehicle is its structural integrity. The 2022 MOT failure recorded excessive corrosion under the battery and in the wheel arches to the extent that the body's stability was impaired. You must verify the quality of the repairs carried out to address these failures; be wary of repairs that have been simply covered in underseal to hide the extent of the rust.
Pay close attention to the brake system. The 2023 MOT record notes rear brake pipes were corroded and covered in grease or other material, which is often a sign of attempting to mask rust. Negotiate the price based on the likelihood of needing further structural welding and brake line replacements in the near future.
As a 2.5L diesel from 2000, this Transit will have higher fuel consumption and emissions than modern vans. It will fall into a higher tax bracket and insurance group compared to smaller engines, and maintenance costs are likely to be elevated due to the vehicle's age and the persistent corrosion issues noted in the records.
Annual costs will be driven largely by the need for preventative rust treatment and the replacement of aging components. Expect higher-than-average spending on consumables and structural upkeep to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Perform a thorough inspection of the underbody. Specifically, check the area under the battery, the inner wheel arches, and the sills, as these were all flagged for significant rigidity loss in 2021 and 2022. Inspect the rear brake pipes for corrosion and check the power steering pipe for the seepage noted in the January 2024 test.
Additionally, examine the prop shaft bearing housing, which was recorded as fractured in 2021, to ensure the replacement is secure. Check the offside front suspension mounting area, as this was flagged for corrosion in 2024.
This 2000 white Ford Transit has recorded 153,103 miles. The MOT history is heavily marked by significant structural failures in 2021 and 2022, specifically regarding the chassis, sills, and cross members. While it passed its 2023 and 2024 tests, it continues to carry advisories for general underbody corrosion and brake pipe deterioration.
The Ford Transit is a staple of UK roads, though aggregate data for over 735,000 vehicles confirms that corrosion is one of the top three reasons for MOT failure.
